Malunggay Tree

A 4-man team of graduating MBA students from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), visited the Philippines to study the wide-scale production of Malunggay (Moringa). They presented their study in a forum organized by the Department of Agriculture on the 17th of January 2008. In their presentation, they recommended that it is now the right time for the Philippines to position the country as the main source of malunggay in international trade,or some other country will do it.

I’ve received some emails from the readers of this website asking me on how to plant a malunggay. Although we have 2 malunggays in our backyard, which we planted as we what we are accustomed and that is through stem cutting, I really don’t have any idea on how to plant malunggay for a mass scale production. Since I have started an article about malunggay , I guess I owe something to the readers and so I did my own research. Continue Reading »

BELIEVE it or not, I am now craving for malunggay noodles. I am so fascinated with malunggay’s green leaves that I have just planted so many seedlings in a small farm the family has been growing in Lipa, Batangas.

In the midst of the holiday rush for gifts and the free flow and exchange of rich and creamy food stuff, I remember the taste of malunggay noodles, which I experienced for the first time in one of the regional trade fairs hosted by the now-defunct project, WoW Philippines, of the Department of of Tourism.(The DOT should revive WoW Philippines in 2008 to help our farmers and traders in the provinces promote their products in Manila).

Those malunggay noodles came from Cagayan Valley, Continue Reading »

Why FARM?

farmeric December 19th, 2007

My colleagues are asking me why I named my sub domain here at PinoyBusiness.ORG as FARM. What’s so significant about this name (or word)? Well, in it’s literal meaning, a Farm is a piece or a tract of land cultivated for the purpose of agricultural production.In contrast, a land that is not cultivated cannot be called as Farm.

With this description in mind, I decided that I want to have a space in this virtual world which I can call my virtual farm. A place or space wherein I can sow all my ideas, cultivate them with visions, shower with ambitions, fertilize with actions and be sun-shined with God’s intervention. I pray and hope that these soon-to-be planted ideas will yield great results that I can share to other people specially the readers.

Like a real farm that needs to be cultivated and be taken cared of, they said that great ideas can yield great results if nurtured properly, and I know that there’s a lot of ways to nurture an idea until it bears fruit. A farm cannot stand on it’s own without the help of the neighbors and the machineries. I may have the seeds but I’ll be needing the assistance of the experts - YOU, to help me grow it. I ask you to help me propagate bright, good, positive and sustainable ideas. I mentioned the word “sustainable” because I want the audience, the public who will visit my farm to be encouraged to pick any of the harvests that they can apply and nourish on their own.

There are endless possibilities that can be done on a farm. It can be used not only to produce harvest but also dairies and livestock. Basically, the goal of a farm is to produce a lot of products which in turn will make a profit. In this virtual farm, I am hoping to produce practical ideas which will give benefits to me and to you in a form of knowledge.

Little by little, as the trees of  knowledge bears fruit, the road to the FARM will be opened for everybody to enjoy the picking as much as you want.

Take a peek now on my farm!
